Where do we go from here?

I am almost 75 years old and I found myself repeating the same phrases that I had 40 years ago. It’s time that we all reassess. At 75 I can’t go back but I can reaffirm how I see my world today.

Emotions of the today!

With all the hysteria from the Black Lives Matter protest and the obvious frustrations of people cloistered for almost three months, I took a break.  Several discussions with family members where quite disturbing/demoralizing; in spite of all the trauma real and imagined foisted upon Black people I find there are those who think they have the moral high ground. My emotional state and found this statement appropriate.

 

How many of us really feel!

This is America!

Whether I travel to China, Europe, or Africa, I’m constantly aware that I am an American; by the way I talk, how I image, how I walk, how I smell. No matter this is the America that makes me who I am.
